All of the acting is good and I can not emphasize enough on the artistically genius way this film was directed. The film is graphic but there is enough black humor to put it off, otherwise it would be a cold and brittle film. If you have seen nearly every vampire movie ever created or are trying to, you could like this, if you're open minded and not one to compare.I am not saying that this movie is substandard or inferior to any other vampire movie, just definitely one of a kind, and obviously misunderstood. not for squeamish or prudes.If you like David Lynch and violent vampire films, you might like this. I wasn't too fancy on the soundtrack but it wasn't horrible either, soft goth rock or something like that but the OST is fine.

Star Andreeff stars as a stripper who is infected with vampire blood and is turned into a bloodsucker when John Savage, a member of the undead clan, fails to kill her at the order of their leader. Oddball comedy with a particularly strange vampire brood straight out of a David Lynch movie. Savage, with a lower lip ring and a propensity to quote movie lines, seems to be having fun in his role as an eccentric vampire who doesn't like to suck blood(his peers consider him a joke, nicknaming him a vegetarian!)and becomes Andreeff's only ally(for some reason, his bunch are all inclusive and do not wish to indoctrinate a new member). One bizarre scene has Andreeff barfing out her insides. Andy Ruben features small strip club numbers(the club is of the underground variety where kink and S&M are the preferred acts by their clientèle)sprinkled in throughout. Andreeff, striking even when she's sickly and starving for blood, was previously in another unique vampire movie, DANCE OF THE DAMNED, and seems at home portraying down-on-their-luck women who live in seedy environments, trying to make ends meet however she can, and in CLUB VAMPIRE she is a single mom working in a club to support her son, the money brought in furnishing his private school education(whenever he bothers to attend, that is)and the condo which is their home. Savage bites the head off of a rat, gets his tongue pulled out by his leader, and sorrows for the loss of his humanity after centuries of seeing civilizations crumble and die to disease and plague. Savage and Andreeff share quite a bit of screen time together, due to his inability to kill her, instead opting to save her, placing himself in danger against his peeps. Ruben shoots in a lot of street urban locations, like alleyways and corners, but is consistent in returning to the club(which has a vampire head at the front, the entrance a fanged mouth)time and again to remind us of Andreeff's position in life and the reason she's in her current situation. Regular on Twin Peaks, dwarf Michael Anderson, has a colorful role as a member of the bloodthirsty vampires who enjoy the predatory hunt of human beings. The other two vampires are Marriam Parris and Diana Frank. Some might remember Ross Malinger as Rocky Balboa's son, here portraying Andreeff's kid, a potential feast if she or Savage can not stop Parris from carrying out her plans. Severed heads are a constant, including one sequence where Savage's head reattaches to his neck! Executive produced by Roger Corman through his New Concorde. I'm on my own because I didn't consider this an absolute failure and one of the worst movies ever made--just weird and kooky. It's unfortunate that Andreeff's career never rose out of the B-movie cellar, she always had potential. Since this movie she has sort of "retired" from the business, many would say CLUB VAMPIRE is one of those reasons. I kind of liked it myself.

I have no idea why this movie is rated so low. I love John Savage and his character makes this movie enjoyable to watch. Starr is also awesome. It is very graphic though. There's a whole part where she's pulling her intestines out of her body through her mouth. Oh yeah she eats a hamster in this movie, not the prettiest sight but it looks really cool.The whole vampire story lines is somewhat original but different. Same in the way that they can't be in the sunlight and they can die by being decapitated, but different when their faces aren't' Major distorted and that theirs so many of them that they just KILL KILL and KILL some more.

John Savage...... My, how the mighty has fallen. Do yourself a favor. When you see this film at your local video store, make the sign of the cross with your fingers (or, pinch your nose--optional) and just walk away. If you rent (or God-forbid, buy) this film, it WIll suck the brain cells right out of your head.
